IN TWO DIFFERENT TUNINGS
In standard tuning, The A/G# is a real niusance (402220). You could play it with a capo
2 in which the verses would be Em and D, but in standard tuning you can't get the low D
note, so the capo kind of ruins it. FOR THE EASIER VERSION (Drop D tuning with a capo
2), SCROLL DOWN! I have both versions here! --jg
In Standard Tuning:
Intro: (F#m, E)
F#m
e-------2---!-------2---!-------2---!-------2---!
B--------2--!--------2--!--------2--!--------2--!
G---------2-!---------2-!---------2-!---------2-!

A-----------!--2--------!-----------!--2--------!
E--0--------!-----------!--0--------!-----------!
F#m
The summer rain is falling
E
Like its never going to stop here it's been ages.
F#m
Puddles form on city corners
Businessmen they leap
E
Between the edges.
F#m E
Mmmmm... Mmmm mmmm.
F#m
Umbrellas take up battle spots
E
But nature's fury always proves much stronger.
F#m
And I've been sitting in my room
E
Wondering if I'm going to last much longer.
A A/G# F#m E B
And I've been so damn sure
C#m B
That I've been here before.
A A/G# F#m E B
I'll give back what I borrowed
E
And start today tomorrow.
F#m
I've been watching over you
E
Watching while you're sleeping.
F#m
Visions slowly come to me
E
Of you when you were sixteen,
F#m
Standing in your neighbour's house
E
Like the ones I've shown you.
F#m
Sometimes I get the feeling
E
That I've always known you.
A A/G# F#m E B
And I've been so damn sure
C#m B
That I've been here before.
A A/G# F#m E B
I'll rise a....bove my sorrow
C#m
And start today tomorrow.
E C#m A E
Yeah...
A A/G# F#m E B
The rain's gone, here come the swallows.
E
Let's start today tomorrow.
===============================
AND NOW FOR THE DROP-D VERSION:
This version is easier but requires different tuning.
Tune your low E string down two notes to D, and put a capo on the 2nd fret. All chords
relative to the capo.
Chords in Drop D:
Em: 222000
D: 000232
G: 555433 or 55543X
G/F#: 455433 or 45543X
A: X02220 (same as standard tuning)
Bm: X24432 (same as standard tuning)
The chords below also sound okay without the Drop D tuning, but you won't get the low D
note and will have to adjust the picking pattern to use the higher D (open 4th string)
Still use a capo on 2 though.
Intro: (Em, D)
Em
e-------0---!-------0---!-------0---!-------0---!
B--------0--!--------0--!--------0--!--------0--!
G---------0-!---------0-!---------0-!---------0-!
